Depends on what your definition of Conservatism is, but I see you are doing the old Democratic trick of trying to associate Conservatives/Republicans with racism.

A Republican ended slavery. A Republican ended Jim Crow. Republican legislators supported the Civil Rights Movement by a greater percentage than Democratic legislators. Look it up. You are associating the ideals of the pre-60s Southern Democrats (Dixiecrats) with Conservatism.

I never called anyone a racist. I said that conservatives of yesterday frowned upon interracial marriages. I think a more accurate description for the conservatives of yesterday would be Segregationist, not racist. I agree, people run with that unfairly. Conservatives aren't and have never been racists.
